Camping, A Project and More Thrifty Finds

We got back from our camping trip on Wednesday and I feel like I haven't slowed down since. We had a great time at the coast. Perfect weather, not too hot, not too cold and it didn't rain. Always a possibility here in Oregon. Here are a few pictures of our trip.

My son and his buddy roasting marshmallows.

Making smores.

My cute daughter and her buddy.

The kids each brought a friend along and they both had their own tents, so my honey and I got to have the big tent all to ourselves. I decided to set up the air mattress with sheets and a comforter instead of sleeping in my usual sweaty sleeping bag and it worked out great. Pretty too.

Hubby took the kids crabbing on Tuesday morning so I headed out to check out some thrift stores and antique shops nearby. Pickins were slim, but I did manage to find a few items worth buying.

And finally, I wanted to show you the end result of the little display cabinet I pictured on my last post. I think the makeover went very well. This little cutie is head to Expo next weekend.

Early this morning Isabel and I headed over to Silverton to help Joy set up for the Old Stuff 4th of July sale. We saw lots of our favorite people and I will show you pictures on my next post. Heading out tonight for a big fireworks display. I hope you are all having a fun and safe 4th of July!

P.S. If you haven't already, stop by Isabel's blog for some awesome pics of her recent vacation to Portugal and London.

It looks like you had a great time! I love the pretty bed and it's so clean inside your tent. As a fellow tent camper I know that it's not always easy keeping it clean. It looks like you did pretty good while out thrifting!
